Like I said, I don't have all the answers here. You're right -- you can't force relationships, nor can you force opinion changes. But fraternities and sororities can decide that, as groups, it is in their best interests that they engage as groups in activities that will provide an opportunity for such relationships to be formed.

And I'm sorry, but I disagree on the sensitivity training. I think most people will see it as show, and therefore it will not look like the Greek system is making any effort (i.e., an effort undertaken only for show is not a real effort). Not really better than doing nothing, because it pretty much is the equivalent of doing nothing. If participants don't take it seriously, it can be worse than doing nothing, because too many people will say "But we took care of that problem; we did sensitivity training" and will act like the problem is solved. But that's just my opinion.
